UNITED STATES. Bullying is the fear of every parent, preemie or not. Jacki James worked hard to help her 13-year old son, Peyton (a former preemie), manage endless teasing about his differences at school. In October 2014, he took his own life. His mother Jacki created Kindness Matters in his memory to create an alternative to anti-bullying campaigns to one of “pro-kindness.”
